Cruz Warns Trump in Feud Over Wives: 'Real Men Don't Attack Women'
NBC News ^ | March 24, 2016 | ALASTAIR JAMIESON, ALI VITALI and HALLIE JACKSON

Ted Cruz warned Donald Trump not to "attack women" Thursday after the Republican frontrunner appeared to escalate the personal feud over their wives.

"Donald, real men don't attack women," the Texas senator wrote after the billionaire retweeted an unflattering photo of Heidi Cruz.

The exchange came after Trump showed no sign of backing down in the dispute over a campaign ad that featured an old picture of Melania Trump posing handcuffed and nude for GQ magazine.

The flare-up prompted Jeb Bush to endorse Cruz Wednesday in a rebuke to what the former Florida governor called the "divisiveness and vulgarity" of Trump.

Trump repeated late Wednesday that he believed Cruz "knew about" the ad, which appeared to be aimed at persuading Mormon women to support Cruz in Tuesday's Utah primary.

The ad was created by the anti-Trump Make America Awesome Again super PAC and featured a photo shoot of Melania from 2000 with the meme caption: "meet Melania Trump. Your next first lady. Or, you could support Ted Cruz on Tuesday."

As polls closed in Tuesday's contests, Trump tweeted : "Lyin' Ted Cruz just used a picture of Melania from a G.Q. shoot in his ad. Be careful, Lyin' Ted, or I will spill the beans on your wife!"

On Wednesday, Cruz told NBC's TODAY that Trump's threat "speaks volumes about character" and "is the epitome of classlessness."

"If Donald is trying to mess with my wife, he's way out of his league," he added

Cruz doesn’t come off as a real man. He reminds me of Pajama boy.

Cruz, like Obama, will not accept ultimate responsibility for his surrogates’ actions done in his name.

Really Senator?

Explain why your PAC was attacking Trumps wife?

Seems the Crybully culture has taken over the Cruz campaign.

“Real men don’t attack women!” says the two faced politician while his chief endorser attacks both Trump’s ex and current wife.

A Super PAC supporting Cruz attacked Trumps wife.

Trump did not start it. What part of that do you not understand?

Even if one of his PAC's wasn't behind it (and I don't believe they were) he owned it as soon as the vote Cruz appeared on it. I still have not heard him say it was wrong and that he disavows it.

Always someone else's fault with Cruz ....

I wish Cruz would have addressed Liz Mair, who was the source of the nastiness.

Trump didn’t attack Heidi either. Saying he may spill the beans on her is not an attack. Well maybe on little snowflake college campuses it is.

Ted Cruz at 5’8” tall isn’t going to be one standing out.

And just where has Trump accepted any responsibility for his surrogates’ actions?
